Kursplan och övrig information

Betygskriterier

The course can only be validated through completion of all three modules (i.e. at least grade 3 in all modules). Grades 3, 4 and 5 are determined by the final examination (written or oral) included in module 1 but covering all modules of the course. Modules 2 and 3 can only be passed or failed (i.e. grade 3 / U).

The learning outcomes (LO) describe what the student should be able to do to achieve grade 3 (i.e. the 'pass' grade).

On completion of the course students will be able to:

LO-1: describe the interactions between the physical processes and the factors that control flows and stores of energy, water and solutes in the soil-plant-atmosphere system (Module 1)

Assessment:

  • Active participation to in-class calculations meeting (module 1, ass. 2)
  • Completion of 3 online quizzes on application theory (module 1, ass. 3, 8 & 13)
  • 50% right answers* (15p) to the final examination

LO-2: build, apply and interpret the results of numerical models to simulate flows of energy, water and solutes in different types of soil, linked to different vegetation and climate (Module 1 & 2)

Assessment:

  • Active participation to all computer exercises (7 days, module 2, ass. 4-6, 9, 11, 14 & 16)
  • Completion of 4 online quizzes on computer exercises (module 2, ass. 7, 10, 12 & 17)
  • Active participation in Mini-workshop activities: Scientific paper reading, written report and in-class discussions (module 1, ass. 15, 19 & 20)

LO-3: apply this knowledge to analyse and solve practical problems concerning water flow and solute transport in relation to land use, soil and water management and environmental protection (Module 3)

Assessment:

  • Active participation to mini-projects activities (2.5 weeks, module 3, ass. 21-23): group work & project development, group written report and oral presentation as well as discussion / cross-evaluation of projects' work
    • Clearly present the aims, methods and results of the study.
    • Discuss the results critically including the interpretation, limitations and possible applications of the results to reality.
    • Give clear and informative answers to relevant questions regarding the work
    • Provide clear and relevant feedback to another project

To achieve grades 4 and 5, the student should be able to achieve a higher level of understanding and which will be assessed in the final examination.

Criteria. Discuss and justify conclusions from problem solving (For independent questions and examples formulated in the final exam):

  • based on stringent and clearly explained reasoning (grade 4)
  • showing a clear independent ability to apply the knowledge gained during the course (grade 5)

Assessment:

  • Fulfill criteria for grade 3
  • 67% and 84% right answers (20p and 25p) to the final examination* for grade 4 and 5 respectively

* Written (or oral) examination 30p in total: 18p will be dedicated to questions for grade 3; 6p for grade 4 and 6p for grade 5.

Litteraturlista

**1-The course book is: **

Hillel, D 2004: Introduction to Environmental Soil Physics

In the following you find a short summary of the chapters in the course book that are important for the course.

  • **Chapters 1 – 5. **These chapters cover basic soil physical concepts. If you have not yet had any soil physics courses, or not recently, it is highly recommended to read them.
  • Chapters 6 and 7. These chapters explain the basic principles of water in soil and saturated water flow. The concepts presented in these chapters will be needed over and over again in this course.
  • Chapters 8 and 9. The major part of this course will be related to the more advanced hydrology of unsaturated soils and to solute transport.
  • Chapters 10 – 11. These chapters discuss soil air and gas exchange. Background knowledge in these fields is desirable but these topics are not covered by this course.
  • **Chapter 12. **Contains background information needed for one of the mini-projects.
  • Chapter 13. This chapter explains soil mechanics, which is another important field in soil physics. Soil mechanics is however not included in this course.
  • **Chapters 14 17. **These chapters give an introduction to water movement in soils under field conditions. The bigger picture for why the above introduced concepts are important.
  • **Chapter 18-20. **These three chapters will familiarize you with evapotranspiration and the water balance of soils, which are topics that are central to this course.
  • **Chapter 21 **Contains important background information needed for one of the mini-projects.
